Why are proper frontside mechanics in sprinting important? Triple extension involved in frontside mechanics is essential to keep the pelvis in a neutral position and facilitate force production. Frontside mechanics align the rear leg to optimally apply force into the ground to help propel the body forward. Frontside mechanics align the lead leg to optimally apply force into the ground to help propel the body forward. Frontside mechanics are associated with a stronger push phase, including hip-knee extension, gluteal contraction, and backside arm drive.
Frontside mechanics align the lead leg to optimally apply force into the ground to help propel the body forward.
Which is not part of triple extension involved in backside sprint mechanics? Hip abduction Hip extension Ankle plantar flexion Knee extension
Hip abduction
Which of these joint movements is part of backside mechanics? Hip flexion Knee flexion Hip extension Ankle dorsiflexion
Hip extension
Which is involved in frontside mechanics? Ankle plantar flexion Knee extension Lead leg Rear leg
Lead leg

Osteopenia
What three joint actions comprise triple extension? Spinal extension, hip extension, and plantar flexion Dorsiflexion, knee flexion, and hip flexion Plantar flexion, knee extension, and hip extension Knee extension, shoulder extension, and elbow extension
Plantar flexion, knee extension, and hip extension
